Nathan Frazer Fires Shot At Romeo Moreno Before WWE NXT Match

Nathan Frazer added some extra heat to his upcoming WWE NXT matchup against Romeo Moreno ahead of the May 26 episode of NXT. The match was officially announced by NXT General Manager Robert Stone as part of the ongoing WWE Speed Championship tournament.

Before the show, Nathan Frazer posted a video on social media discussing the tournament and taking a playful shot at Moreno in the process. In the video on X, Frazer joked that beating Moreno “wouldn’t be the first time” he had defeated “a kid from Madrid,” referring to Moreno’s birthplace in Madrid, Spain (via Fightful).

“So, Lexis King is parading himself around, calling himself the fastest man alive. I happen to think that’s an insult to the business, so I’ve decided to do something about it. I called up Shawn Michaels and I said ‘Put me in the next Speed tournament, now.’ He has granted my request, and it turns out there’s kind of like an international vibe to this tournament. In the first round they have me going up against Romeo Moreno. It turns out he’s from España, he’s from Madrid, the same place that (Axiom) is from. Wouldn’t be the first time I beat a kid from Madrid. Tune in at 8pm on the CW Network to NXT and watch Nathan Frazer fulfill his destiny by becoming the WWE Speed Champion. Always remember, nobody is faster than Frazer.”

The WWE Speed Championship tournament has continued gaining attention as WWE expands the Speed format across additional programming and platforms.

Nathan Frazer, WWE Speed Champion…

It just feels right.
